A History of the Festival
The St Ives September Festival of Music and The Arts was first launched in 1978 and continued to 1986 when it finally became a victim of the recession. It was restarted in 1994 and this time it lasted to 2001. A lower key 'Fringe' version ran in the town up to 2004 and since then a higher profile has been brought back to the event.
